The difference isn't physical, it's conceptual. They're not wearing those ears because it's Leonard Nimoy who plays Spock; they're wearing those ears because they're singing about a hobbit. (Not to put too fine a point on it)
Okay, you've seen it...but it never gets old. I read once that George Lucas started a corporate screening of Star Wars (in some plush L.A. 20th Century Fox screening room with couches and ashtrays) by screening Chuck Jones' "Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century" (a Daffy/Porky sci-fi cartoon) as the teaser, "just to break the ice." How great would it be if Peter Jackson put this at the beginning of the 3D/IMAX The Hobbit?

Somewhere in the thousands of posts on this blog this has appeared before, but it's always hysterical.

I love that the dancers are all wearing slip on Vulcan ears. What a great thing to post on a Friday.

Aren't they wearing slip-on hobbit ears? (Remember this was Nimoy's "I am not Spock" period.)

What's the difference between Vulcan and Hobbit slip ons?
